Academic Support
High School and Beyond
Program Outcomes
The Academic Support faculty work closely with the College Counseling Office and apply, on behalf of the student, for accommodations on standardized tests such as the PSAT, SAT, SAT Subject Tests, Advanced Placement, ACT, and TOEFL. This collaboration provides students a greater awareness of their strengths, challenges, and learning styles. In the process, they will acquire the ability to use strategies independently and effectively, gain confidence and self-awareness, and are prepared for success in college and beyond.
